EEVblog #676 - RANT: FTDI Bricking Counterfeit Chips!

FTDI have released a windows driver update that bricks any product using counterfeit chips. A classic case of corporate suicide. Dave breaks down "FTDIgate", and rants about FTDI's official response. NOTE: The 2nd half of this video includes the original rant video before FTDI responded and withdrew their new driver.
